Crust
- 8 ounces refrigerated crescent rolls (1 can – use the full sheet crescent dough if available)
Spread
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (reduced-fat or full fat)
- ½ cup sour cream (light or full fat)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 2 cups chopped assorted veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, green onion, cucumber)
- Additional fresh chives for garnish (optional)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crescent roll crust.
- Prepare Spread: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, chopped fresh dill, and chopped fresh chives. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate the spread for at least 15 minutes to chill and allow flavors to meld.
- Roll Out Crescents: Remove the crescent rolls from their packaging and carefully roll out the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. If using triangle crescent rolls, pinch together any seams to form one solid sheet. If using the full sheet crescent dough, this step can be skipped.
- Bake Crust: Bake the prepared dough in the preheated oven for 6 to 7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely to prevent the spread from melting.
- Spread Mixture: Once cool, evenly spread the chilled cream cheese mixture over the crescent roll crust.
- Add Veggies: Top the spread with the chopped assorted fresh vegetables, arranging them evenly. Add extra chopped chives on top if desired for garnish and flavor.
- Cut and Serve: Use a pizza cutter or a large knife to slice the veggie pizza into appetizer-sized pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, colorful treat.
Notes
- You can customize the veggies according to your preference or seasonal availability.
- For a tangier flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
- To make it a gluten-free option, substitute the crescent rolls with a gluten-free dough base.
- The spread can be made a day ahead for deeper flavor development.
- This recipe is best served fresh but can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 days.
